So basically, “The pigs didn’t want a revolution. They just wanted to be Farmer John.”
However, there are such people everywhere, no matter the beliefs. ADF is a dreg version of such a person.
By that point the revolution was long gone but yes, they just wanted to be on the winning side and if that meant going capitalist then that's what they'd do. They saw opportunity and went for it.
Some Commie leaders went on to revive the party. Stalin's grandson denounced the fall of the Soviet Union at length. Basically if you were in the Engineering sector, Intelligence, or a high ranking military post you're completely right. But if you were an Intellectual of some stripe yeah they were still die-hard Commies. A lot of the dregs like ADF were just apolitical by this time.
Yeah I was talking about the guys in the Engineering sector, the manufacturing industry and the like. The ones that now had a skill or product that could be sold that before went to the state and now they had the chance to sell to the world or at the very least the general public. And while some of the intelligentsia were true believers, nobody can say that Phil is a member of that.
